FAIR ANAHEIM VIEWS.

A HERALD representative who usu-
ally works al days in the week, In
Guiding Sunday, and all weeks in the
year, including midsummer and the
christmas holidays, was in great
luck last Saturday night. At least so
he considered himself when told he
might have ebay out" on Sunday.
Thinking where he should 20 to
-ouander his one holiday, Anaheim
came to his head AS II pleasant place
t spend day. Getting his Saturday
nights work well mp, a. d emil ting
the interest Of u c, llahora' eur 10 do
the rest, away lie Ii ed ON the late
ira of Saturday. He found II solid
train If nir coaches full of people all
drg for the south end OF the county.
Away flew the engine with its load
like met If long tail tlashi z
through the vineyards, orange groves,
pastures stil green, and brown stub
BILE lands of last We ir, past towns and
villages, and b> hundreds OF farm
houses, wineries, creameries and
fruit dryer, until at last 'he depot OF
the mother co Ony was reached.
At ANAHEIM.
Transferring hi self from the train
to the street ear, he e~spape' pleas
ure seeker feun. about wenIy-fi> e

host Mason and his cook, especial y
the cook.
This was all right, but by the time
we all got done toying with the ear"
OF The waiter, it was too late 10 Fee
anything of Anaheim. There being
10 white elephant in the town the
party soon sought the downy pillows
where the Al ms OF Morpheus ar wol t
to cone ami entwine the necks OF
such as seek surceaSe OF sorrow in
the embrace of The 'rowsy god. He
came, embraced and conquered. Next
morning, refreshed and ready for the
fray, The rencil-pusher awok-, be-
lieves lie did, and Ii wing performed
his ablutions, external and internal p,

V. t outside Of som thing pleasant
he stepped at last into tie open air.
A GLORIOUS MORNING.
Remember it Was III December, and
it should have been winter weather.
All, me, that all Gods creatures could
not dwell under just such winter skies.
The warm tlew OF go den sunshine
filed the sky and air, and bathed The
land as genial as the loveliest day in
Jnre. Tie hirds were all making the
spac Sol or us with glad so rs. The
breezes Of the zephyl's grntlest touch
set the leaves of the orange groves
iu~t atremble, and tie golden spheres
like the tabled amp eS Of the lie l,or-
lie, glislen d like gold around the
rich waxing shean OF The foliage.
RICH ANArEIM.
Far southwark spread the broad
rich plain embracing vineyards. OF.
ange groves, rich pas ures, orchards
the most fertile and varied IN it,
resources in the world. Some tilte~r
miles away the PAcific Law pulsating
and cleaning IN the golden sunlight
from his broad breast come lheSt
gentle winds laaded to repleti'n wi /
lfe-giving ozone, pure, invigorating
health restoring, youth-giSiug, Il,
would hav been the springs OF eter'
nal youth, had Ponce de Leon
been able to find them.
TIE EVERLASTING HILLS.
All around the moth side of the
.llev the great mountains rose &c
grand heights, and on heir worldOld
hrows they lifted TO the skies Their
SHOWS OF countless years. The sun
lit up their ridges with such glorious
brightness as the imagination pie
tues on he white heights OF Para
disc. II he shadows slept in lie val
leys as peacefully as Bunyon's pill
gum saw them on the "Delectable
mountains in his progress to Heaven.
Indeed to come down as near as
one can to the plain facts OF cold
pros; ic stateme, t, d more beautiful
pros pect never stretched before the
eyes of man han the landscape which
law all around the ricn old ''mother
colony" ON the day in question. Nc
spot even in this semi tropic p ,radise
can boast Of any more fascinating ic-
ture than was there presented. The
rains had started the grasses. The
orange groves we're washed Gle n Of
dust, the roads were hard and clean,
the temperature was Of that abso-
lntely perfect degree which makes
life seem orth living for. One will
in these matters still have recourse tc
The bright fancy Of the poet to dc
justice to the subject Lowell asks:
"And what so perfect as a day ii
June"
The answer is last Sunday at Ana
helm was as perfect as any day that
ever rose out of the mig ht in the "leafy
month OF June"
NOTES OF PROGRESS.
1t is so difficult to withdraw the
mind from living over again the de-
lights of such perfect weather, that al
other considerations are lost. Blu
things are stirring at Anaheim. The
new railroad is graded through
the town, across the wash, through
Fuller Oh, WeSt tilTOugH OIdiSotioiP ~
to the Coyote House, and will soon be
up on the mesa shooting straight fol
the springs. The Hotel Del Campo
contract is let to the Albrecht Bros.
an Anaheim firm, and it will be fin
lshed in ninety days. Then Anahein
will have thee fine hotels. The Sis
tiers are waiting anxiously for deco
for the Dreyfus estate to theil
lots in order that they may
proceed with the building O
their academy. The Town Trustees
are about to lay water pipes along
cypress street for distance of several
thousand feet. The water compan,
is pushing things on their big reser
voir.
ANAHEIN TO THE FRONT.
The attractions of Anaheim and its
vicinity are becoming well known
The pure climate. excellent soil, per-
feet drainage, absence OF dust, abund-
ance of wafer and such elements
